search from the search field on my hompage

thanks, one more quick question. How do I get it to search from the search field on my hompage, as it sends you to a template then you have to re-enter the search query again in the template?

I have this as the hidden fields

form action='search/search.php' method='get'>
<input type='hidden' name='template_demo' value='./templates/phpdig.html'/>
<input type='hidden' name='site' value='0'/>
<input type='hidden' name='path' value=''/>
<input type='hidden' name='result_page' value='search/search.php'/

do I have to edit the config file? I did do this but it still managed to go to the template file first before searching.

I realise I will have to make my own template which I'm working on I just want it to search from the hompage without having to enter the details again. Obviously having a search again box on the results page?

Thanks

Simon
